Why not send the to 125-Lex and the to Bronx

That is if Phase 3 and 4 are ever completed. My plan would be do Phase 3 to Grand Central and then that's it.

 

Grand Central to Bronx

125-Lex to Coney Island

@CenSin: Part of the reason why Parts 3 and 4 will probably end up underused

Thanks! I'm gonna try to attempt to make mine scroll

Can I have a luminator flipdot? Can you just give me both frames as well so I can actually make it flip. Thanks!

 

I want it to say:

 

1st frame:

 

M14D Lower E. Side

           Delancy - FDR

 

2nd frame:

M14D Crosstown

They should just dig it up and rebuild it. Then replace the stuff above it with nicer stuff.

A cross platform transfer wouldn't be that bad

A cross platform transfer wouldn't be that bad, but in reality people would hate it.

Next: The City Hall loop has been deemed impassable due to a track fire. The loop is closed for repairs for a week. Reroute away.

Mindless rambling

 

Sorry but none of this makes any sense…

The could just send all Lex trains one way and 7th trains the other at Rogers, but then you lose the benefit of an one-seat ride to either one from both sides.

We all know the and train on how it operates but Im wondering:

 

Why does the have to start and terminate at Nereid Av-238 St, and cant the run express in the bronx Rush hours instead of the ?

 

After all the has longer stops than the as the is Express Manhattan and Brooklyn

 

I think the Lex has more riders from there but I could be wrong.

Trying to be reasonable: 

 

The 53rd (E, M) , and Steinway ( 7) tubes are closed. Reroute accordingly.

 

EDIT: also the 8th Av line is closed from 14th to 50th St

I would do this, but as a loop line with ONLY the Brooklyn-bound track of the Manny B reconnected to the Nassau Line (this to avoid at-grade crossovers).

 

My version of this would potentially be a 19/7 or 24/7 line that could be a "Brown " train that would run as follows:

 

95th Street would be the sole terminal of the line (for operational purposes, Chambers Street would be considered the "northern" terminal, but it would just stop there like any other station).

 

Train would operate like the regular does in Brooklyn going to Manhattan via the tunnel, but coming from Manhattan after Chambers Street would go over the Manny B back to Brooklyn.  Because of this, the following stations would ONLY be served by northbound trains on the uptown track since southbound trains would be running over the bridge:

 

DeKalb Avenue (if necessary to skip that station coming back on the Manny B)

Jay Street-Metrotech

Court Street

Broad Street

Fulton Street

Chambers Street (again, the north terminal for operational purposes but in reality a regular stop).

 

After Chambers, such trains go over the Manny B back to Brooklyn.

 

This "Brown " could also be done via West End (with most likely Bay Parkway being the sole terminal) if such service is warranted.

 

Why not just turn the train around at Chambers and have it go back the other way. That way you serve all the stations in both directions.

Another proposal of mine. This one a line revival.

 

Blah

 

What do you think?

Doesn't connect to a yard which is one major problem in my opinion, meaning T/O's will have to go from CI via West End. Most lines have an easy connection to their yard. Look at all the lines and where their yards are and you'll understand.

 

If this would be possible I would terminate it at Chambers via tunnel and have it turn back there, because people can get on in both directions, and then you don't have to make a switch or track where there isn't one. In addition there would be less tracks to share with other trains and less merges.

 

In Brooklyn I would run it via West End, instead of via the R the entire way. That way it has a direct yard connection, and more access to 4th Av local stops than Sea Beach would, although Sea Beach is also a good contestant due to higher Sea Beach ridership.

 

The better option would be extra service that short turned at 57th St. It would provide downtown and midtown service, and a possible future SAS uptown service. With that you still run the no-yard problem, but it shouldn't be a big deal as the line is still mostly part of the . If this were to happen however, I would send some trains via Broadway express to alleviate crowding. This seems best as a rush only service. However the downfall is the lack of connection to the Nassau St line.

 

All in all, this brown R idea has some potential, such as more 4th Av local service. However, I find a line like this would have very low demand of ridership because it only connects to Lower Manhattan. The better idea, mentioned above would be the short turned 's to 57th, however it also has it's downsides.

You can always go deeper. Have you forgotten that the and dips lower to pass under the Park Avenue Tunnel?

Not when you are so close to water sometimes.

NEXT:

 

6th Avenue Line is closed north of West 4th Street. Trains cannot layup using the switches north of the station.

The whole 63rd Street Line is closed, including the connection to Broadway.

The 11th Street Cut is closed.

 

Change trains as fit.

 

Extra challenge: 8th Avenue Line/Cranberry Street Tunnel is closed south of West 4th Street and north of Jay Street-Metrotech.

 

Extra trains:

suspended

trains run in two sections, 205-59 and B'way Lafayette to CI

trains run via 8th (North of W4) and 53rd

via 8th Av-Local south of Penn and via to Jay, certain trains short-turn at Penn to alleviate delays

via between Jay and W4

trains run between Penn Sta and Parsons-Archer, via QBL local

extended to 71st to supplement for

to Astoria

Suspend elevated portions. Leave trains on tracks underground for use. Late-nite service.

The Nassau St line is impassible south of Essex-Delancey and the Cranberry St Tube is closed. Reroute and any others.

 

And, due to ongoing track work, Marcy, Hewes, and Myrtle cannot be used as a terminal.

Because we can't all have Manhattan levels of service and accessibility, can we?  Is the idea of space and places being spread out so foreign to Manhattanites?

Actually I live in suburban Westchester, where buses are the most useless things out there. It takes an hour to ride from Tarrytown to White Plains, a ride which takes 5-10 minutes in a car.

One person matures into a car every day and hammers the bus into the ground because suburban bus service is shit.

Trains are gonna jam. They run at 3 minute intervals, and CBTC can only tell the exact location of the trains to determine what speed to go at.

 

CBTC makes them not jam, the only problem is trains seem to go pretty slow on the

There are junction malfunctions at Chambers St, this forces the and the to go via the line to South Ferry.

 

Reroute or suspended.

replaces in Brooklyn

replaces in Brooklyn (for 24-7 service where the 2 is)

via Loop

 

Expect Delays

If we go by this...is someone that never rode the IRT, spotting a R142 would be "exclusive" wouldn't it be?

I mean if the guy rides CPW once a week or so, compared to Daniel who does it every 6-7 hours. It's not as rare to the non-frequent rider, compared to the frequent one. And yes your correct, If you were from some farther out city and you visit New York, an R142 would probably be "exclusive" but only to people at home and you.

It's an everyday thing. I would know because I live by the CPW Line

For you it's an everyday thing, for someone who doesn't ride the Fulton, 8th Av, or CPW lines much it's rare. It's all a matter of perception.

"Warning: Call Police" or something like that seen on the side of HH Pkwy. It was picking up passengers.

I jaywalk all the time, but I do look ALL directions. Stop, look, listen.

Not a fair comparison the bee-line has unusually high on time performance compared to other agencies in the tri-state area.

It's totally fair. They're both suburban bus routes and serve small cities and small communities. Not much different between them.

I expect on time service from both

 

Well, you did bring it up, so....

He thinks he has some authority in this thread… smh.
